This book has graced my shelves for many years and is always a pleasure to reread.

One of the best family run nurseries in the North East of England. Celebrating 100 years of growing in 2021. Specialist growers of Dahlia and Chrysanthemum with many trial varieties grown each season.

I have purchased Jack's Giant colocasia, caladiums, alocasia portora and portadora from Caladium Bulbs 4 Less. When I had a problem with some Jack's Giant corms (my fault), the owner, Bill, replaced them with even larger corms, and an extra one to boot! They are now huge, beautiful tropical plants. Caladium corms were much larger than expected, and bloomed wonderfully. The alocasia corms were so large----I had to laugh when I removed them from their box---maybe 10 lbs. apiece is not exaggerating, and they are growing well in this, their first year. Bill is such a genuinely helpful, generous gentleman, I can't recommend his company enough.

This local nursery is family-owned. It is located at the intersection of Hwy 92 and Bells Ferry Rd. It has only been open for 2 years, but is well established.
I stumbled upon this place while looking for bailed spaghnum Peat moss. I have been here 4 times in the last 3 months and each time was a positive, pleasurable experience. The owner, Brandon (sp?) is very friendly and a joy to talk with. All of the staff are friendly and appear to enjoy working at this nursery.
The plant selection is very nice, ranging from landscape trees and shrubs all the way down to delicate houseplants. They offer outdoor plants, indoor plants, gardening supplies, herbs, vegetable plants, and yard decor.
I highly recommend this nursery for anyone in the Kessesaw/Acworth/Marietta area!

This is my second year ordering from Victory Seed Company. I am interested in gardening with genetic diversity and developing locally adapted crops to feed me and my family. Because of my interest in diversity and landrace development, I really appreciate the large selection of varieties available at VS. Take cowpeas for example, tons of choices. Great descriptions too.

I feel like I'm supporting something great by giving Victory Seed my business.

Nice selection of plants offered. I purchased an Epiphyllum and it was received quickly with very good packing.

Sadly this nursery is no longer open.

Enormous selection of annuals and perennials, beautiful hanging baskets, fantastic prices, friendly service. Lancaster is known for its nurseries, and Black Creek is worth the additional distance north of the city of Lancaster to East Earl. I've been making annual spring road trips here for several years, paying roughly half what I would pay locally, even beating box store prices. They have trade gallon perennials for $5-7, quart pots for even less, 6-packs of annuals and veggies, clematis and hellebores at unbelievable savings. There's also a great selection of containers and garden ornaments. If you have any space left in your car, squeeze in some potting mix or mulch (they even have cocoa mulch). Highly, highly recommended!

Beautiful nursery with a wide selection of both "straight" species and named varieties, including so many that I haven't seen offered for sale anywhere else. Staff is knowledgeable, and signage is excellent. With very few exceptions, plants are native to the mid-Atlantic region, but that doesn't mean all plants will be just right for your garden, so ask for help with your selections. Prices are good (higher than box stores, but lower than average for local nurseries IMO). They have perennials for both sun and shade and are just getting into trees & shrubs. For more information (and photos), see the "idea" article I wrote, "Watermark Woods: Growing Native." https://garden.org/ideas/view/...

I just received my first order from Sutton's. All rhizomes were huge and healthy. Also included where 6 bonus rhizomes.

I have gotten both Iris and daylily from Schreiner's. All arrive as big and healthy.
